The Reason You Tweak Your Back In The Morning (Morning Plump)

WANT TO BUILD A RESILIENT BACK?

Did you know your spinal discs are actually larger and more vulnerable the moment you wake up?

Overnight, your discs rehydrate and "plump up" with fluid while you rest. This means your internal disc pressure is at its absolute maximum first thing in the morning. Bending over immediately to tie your shoes or pick something up is like trying to fold a fully inflated balloon—it is the number one time people throw their back out!

In this video, I break down why you need to give your spine a 30-minute "grace period" and how a few gentle pelvic tilts can help pump out that extra fluid safely before you load your body.
